Mango Sago Dessert

This is such a refreshing dessert to have on a hot and humid days like what we are having here in PA. Temperature here can go up to over 90 degree F and having this for dessert is just pure heaven. It’s not too sweet, thick and with huge chunky fresh mango in it.

Ingredients:

2 sweet mango4 tbsp of sago pearls (soak in cold water for half an hour)125ml evaporated milk200 ml mango juice50 ml water2-3 tbsp sugar (more if you like it sweeter)

1. Bring about 4 cups of water to boil in a saucepan. Add in sago pearls and bring it up to boil. Once it boils, continue to stir for a minutes and then turn off the heat and cover the saucepan. Leave it for 20 minutes. At this stage the sago pearls should be transparent.2. Drain the sago from the hot water in a strainer, rinse under cold running water until it cools down and water runs clear and set aside.3. Peel and cut mango into cubes. Set aside some of the cut mango for garnish.4. Blended the rest of the mango, sugar with the 50 ml of water until smooth.5. In a mixing bowl, mix the blended mango, cubed mango, mango juice and milk. Stir well. Add in the sago pearls and stir until well combined.6. Chill before serving.

Note: If mixture is too thick you can always add extra milk or mango juice to it.

I've never used those pearls. Are they just for puddings or can be be used as thickening agents in other dishes?The humidity you have now we are getting tomorrow. We had a 3-day break in the humidity, but it's coming back, which I hate. Humidity is the worst.

Pretty pretty! I just had a honeydew version at my picnic last week and I am going to try the cantaloupe version today! And then I saw your mango version, cool! This is certainly refreshing when have it cold.

I saw a really yummy mango lassi post in another blog the other day and was so tempted. And now this delicious mango dessert. Yay to all the wonderful desserts you can make with mango. As always, your presentation is fabulous.

Elin, just make sure you wash away all the starch of the sago after cooking it. Then it won't be so gooey.
